Public elected offices held Alderwoman, Ward 1, 2021-present
Incumbent? Yes
My top three priorities are safety, city services and infrastructure.
As alderwoman, I've worked on the issues my constituents care about such as making sure their trash gets picked up, the potholes get filled or the vacant house down the street gets addressed. I know what this job takes and have built the needed trust within the community to get it done.
